I am working on a 10inch Sony Vaio at the moment, and I can get a complete screen assembly and install it for $200 (with good profit for me, unlike Apple parts), how much would it cost for a similar Mac? Don't you mean Apple are now using Microsoft hardware? It's not the other way around. Apples are good for certain situations and are great looking machines, but don't lead people to believe that they should have to pay for Apple Care on a machine that is already overpriced for the specs that they are getting.
